No, it sounds right, and it doesn't sound like she's a doormat so long as he holds up his end of the relationship as well. That part just isn't mentioned in the article.
Some women are like the woman in the article and are just one of the guys, but a lot aren't. If you're with a woman who laughs at dirty jokes at her expense just to make you happy even if she hates it, you can expect that bottled up resentment to explode at some point.
I was married to "one of the guys", she was very attractive, never wanted kids, laughed at bawdy jokes, drank with the guys, and let me do dirty, dirty things to her whenever I wanted. After about 9 years, a flood of pent up anger came out. She's now remarried and expecting her first baby, planning to do the housewife thing. Because she was a "cool" wife instead of an honest one.
It's more important to be yourself, and be with someone who appreciates you being yourself than to try to be something you're not and put on an act to make someone else happy. This goes for men and women.
